Independence Day.
Reposted courtesy of Patrick O'Connor from Shaker Road-Loudonville Fire Department.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Two-hundred-and-thirty two years ago, 56 brave men signed their names to a document that set the course of our nation. It changed the history of the world. Our Declaration of Independence was a bold statement of revolutionary principles. It laid down a creed of freedom and a quality that has lifted the lives of hundreds of millions here in America and around the world. Yet, without the courage of the soldiers of our Continental Army, the words of the Declaration would have been forgotten by history, dismissed as the radical musings of a failed revolution.
We celebrate Independence Day each year because that ragtag group of citizen soldiers challenged the world's most powerful military, secured our liberty and planted a standard of freedom to which the entire world has aspired.
Since that first 4th of July, some 43 million Americans have defended our freedom in times of war. These brave men and women crossed oceans and continents to defeat murderous ideologies and to secure the peace for generations that followed. We live in liberty because of the courage they displayed -- from Bunker Hill to Baghdad, from Concord to Kabul -- on this Independence Day we honor their achievements and we thank them for their service in freedom's cause.
For 232 years, Americans of all ages proudly celebrate Americas Birthday. I have compiled a short list below of vocal Americans who paid tribute with thier God given gift. Voices from a 6 yr old to the King of music and all in between. It can only be hoped that today's musicians follow in the footsteps of those who stood before them for future generations to come.
Happy Independence Day, Keep em SAFE and God Bless America!

Thank you Mel. I ask my friends to at least read the declaration and the constitution on this day. Evidently, you don't need to be reminded.

Just a little bit patriotic aren't we? :)
I wish we were just as passionate about our country at times.... :(
